Galactica 1980 MEGO custom, (not mine)

I stumbled accross this on E. James Small's Small Art Works site this morning. Looks like a Trek body with Hutch head on a custom Galactica 1980 bike. Not much info on it but very cool:

I think this guy used to live local to me back in the early 90s, he was obsessed with the Eagle from Space:1999.

Yeah! That's the guy! His website used to carry all manner of add-on kits for the Eagle model kit, (currently re-issued). He also had a passion for the Space Academy Seeker ship.

Heh small world, he was a nice dude, I wasn't really super great to him though. He kept wanting to get together and talk Space:1999 but at the time, I was primarily obsessed with meeting women. You can see how the two don't jive, I still feel bad about it though.

Why not contact him about this custom? Get more info.

Would be nice. I'm trying to drum up any interest I can in continuing Galactica megos custom and or otherwise...

Oh it's a train wreck. I popped it in one night and the episode wasn't too bad, I texted my friend about it and he said "You haven't gotten to the part where the cyclon gets beaten by a microwave" and boy, did my face change.

FYI, this isn't James' custom work, its the actual filming miniature of the flying motorcycles from Galactica 1980.

So when the new BSG talks about "toasters", they're kind of ripping off BSG 1980!
